Finished reading New Suicide Squad: Freedom, concluding writer Sean Ryan's run on the series as Amanda Waller, the head of Task Force X is forced to join the team on their missions after Vic Sage takes over the operation. The book opens up with Amanda Waller and the team are in Rio meeting with a dealer of a drug that gives its user superpowers. When the meeting goes south the team have to fight their way to the safety of a nearby cathedral where Waller goes rouge with the team and go after the Calvary Corporation which owns not only the companies that supply Belle Reve prison and its personal their weapons and equipment but also own the companies that have been appearing in the series that the squad have taken down. Overall this was a good book as it brings an end to writer Sean Ryan's run on the series by wrapping all of the loose plot threads very nicely. The final confrontation between Vic Sage and Amanda Waller is nice as the incorporation of Black Manta helps to bring the over arcing story full circle. The art by Philippe Briones continues to work extremely well with the series as the action and locations are drawn out greatly and work well for the book's story. The stories centring around Deadshot and Katana towards the end of the book feel that they have been added into the book just to make up the page count as they are only the first part of their respective stories and also to get people into the two series. 7/10.
